Answer:
The point estimate used to estimate the mean height of all adult males in Idaho is 69.505 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each confidence interval has two bounds, the lower bound and the upper bound. The points estimate used to estimate the mean is the halfway point between those two bounds, that is, the sum of those two bounds divided by two.
In this problem, we have that:
Lower bound: 62.532
Upper bound: 76.478
Point estimate: (62.532 + 76.478)/2 = 69.505
The point estimate used to estimate the mean height of all adult males in Idaho is 69.505 inches.
As we are given with
we are supposed to simplify this expression. which can be done as below
Y = 2x + 7.....the slope is 2 and the y int is 7
y = 1/2x + 7...the slope is 1/2 and the y int is 7
In comparison, the only difference is the slope. And if the original equation has a slope of 2, and it is changed to a slope of 1/2, then it will have a " less steep " slope. In other words, the slope will not be as steep....but the y intercepts will be the same.
